Top-Rated Rolling Laptop Bags

A rolling laptop bag allows you to transport your laptop without straining your back. While you can use it on everyday occasions, a rolling laptop briefcase or bag is especially useful when traveling for business. You can easily wheel your bag around the airport while also having good access your valuable computer and documents.

When it comes to selecting a rolling laptop case, there are many options from which to choose.  From leather to ballistic nylon and professional black to more colorful, sportier, and casual bags, there are wheeled laptop bags that are suitable for most any type of travel.   If you are interested in a rolling laptop bag designed specifically for women, click here to browse a large selection of rolling laptop briefcases for women.

One important consideration is the type of travel you will use your bag for and whether you will carry clothing and other travel essentials in the same bag.  Rolling laptop bags come in “overnighter” size which will allow you to carry much more than just your laptop and office supplies.  Or, if you will use your rolling laptop bag for everyday work to go to and from the office or if you travel with a separate bag for your clothing, then a smaller “Mobile Office” size bag should be appropriate.

Perhaps, the most important consideration is whether your laptop will fit in the specialized laptop compartment. Be sure to measure your computer and confirm that your laptop will fit within the laptop compartment dimensions.

When searching for a wheeled laptop bag for your computer, you should carefully review all the features of each bag. Careful consideration before you make a purchase will ensure that you get a bag that suits you.  Think about the following:

Height of the handle. The handle’s height plays a large role in the comfort you feel when pulling the bag. If you are tall, it’s especially important to find a handle size that works for you, but short people may have a hard time finding a handle that isn’t too long. Try out several models to be sure that you can pull the bag comfortably. Some bags come with two or more height attachments. This adjustability may be just what you are looking for.

Style. Rolling laptop bags come in a variety of styles, which means that you can select a bag that reflects your personality. A leather bag in black or brown has a professional, classic look, but you can also purchase bags that are a bit more funky–a brightly colored flowered case, for example.

Ability to detach. You may not always want to roll your laptop around. Wheels are great for the airport, but bulky and unnecessary when you are simply moving the laptop from your car to your home or work. If you don’t need wheels all the time, you should consider a rolling laptop bag that has detachable wheels.

Additional pockets. You may not only want to carry around your laptop. Some laptop bags are slim because they are meant for laptops only. Others are larger with many extra pockets. If you’ll also be carrying folders and notebooks for a presentation, look for a bag that comes with a lot of extra space.

Durability. Look for a bag that is strong enough to last. You may think that you are saving a few bucks by going with the cheapest option, but you’ll spend more in the long run when you have to replace it sooner than you would a high quality bag. While you don’t necessarily have to purchase the most expensive rolling laptop bag, you do want to select a bag that will stand the test of time, especially if you will use it often.

Size. Rolling laptop bags come in a variety of sizes as well and you should look for one that fits your needs. It should be big enough to fit all of your items, including your laptop, but still small enough that you can use it as a carry-on bag on your flights.

Your rolling laptop case is an essential part of your professional image and your work. You deserve a bag that has all of the features that you need at a price that you can afford.   With a thorough search, you’ll be able to find the right one for you.

If you travel often, you may want to consider a rolling laptop bag that is Checkpoint Friendly, allowing you to more efficiently go through airport security checkpoints. Here’s a brief video explaining the advantages of Checkpoint or Security Friendly computer bags.
